It's a pretty big poll, and a hard choice to make, too

It was pretty tough so, I stuck to what I think is true macrography.
Well done to all the entrants and Adam for hosting and doing an overall great job with this site. |

I would love to know some tech details for the photos from the shooters - what lens were used and such. I'm shopping for a macro at the moment and am still a little unsure of what's going to work best fo me.
Especially: 1. (Redhawk) 13. (Mikerigel) 18. (kklim1979) |

Red, I've never heard of this Macro Converter. If it's not a teleconverter, does it have any glass? It's not a tube??
How does it work? Anyone? |

JensR from the DPreview forum has a great home page and describes it pretty well: http://www.jr-worldwi.de/photo/index..._shootout.html
